"Amid the soaring prices, already in an economy devastated by years of US sanctions gong back to the Trump administration’s pullout of the JCPOA nuclear deal, the central government has few options in terms of relief for the populace given assets abroad remain frozen."

If I had a dollar for every time someone on FR said "sanctions don't work", I could buy a whole lot of flour!!!

The problem with sanctions is not that they do not work—it is that they are a form of warfare.

If you start sanctioning too many countries (especially powerful ones) they may decide to band together and declare war on you.

Example: The sanctions on Japan are generally agreed to be one of the key factors that caused them to attack Pearl Harbor.
